are you down

hell yes, i'm down. with fever, dizziness, sore throat, everything.

i haven't been feeling too well since my mid-night football session after graduation but i still hauled my sorry ass out for the next couple of days and now i'm paying the price for ignoring the pleas of my body to rest.

so now i'm forced to stay at home with a mild fever and body aches, but i get light-headed real easily, like, i cannot-even-play-my-guitar easy. so i've just been sleeping, watching the final season of lost, sleeping, facebook-ing, and well, sleeping.

but it is really annoying that i've got to shelf all my plans and activities.




having been so intent in keeping myself busy, because i find it dull to have nothing to do, i now find myself staring at an enforced down-time.

because i'm down with a bout of viral infection.

and i was in high spirits on friday, with activities lined up throughout the long weekend.

then came saturday, and i woke up feeling fine. but all of a sudden, after i got home from a session of street soccer with the guys i got really sick.

and the day really dragged on, since there's really nothing that i can do, with me running a temperature, having muscle aches and headaches.

with me always complaining that weekends are too short, that they flash by an before you know it, it's blue-sy monday again, i now find that the days are too long, with absolutely nothing to do.

but with me being forced to stop running about doing things, i had time to think. to think about the people that i've neglected and not appreciated while i was "doing things".

miakoon put it nicely when he said that perhaps i just need to rest, that perhaps i just need to stop running around.
